Dina Taji is refusing to return a male Pomsky named Dubaii to Katie Price in the United Kingdom. The dispute follows the arrest of Lee Andrews in Dubai, which left the pet in Taji's care.
The shdaoow of five dead dogs and a horse
Katie Price has faced intense scrutiny from animal welfare groups due to a documented history of pet deaths. As reported by the Daily Mail, the 48-year-old celebrity has seen five dogs , a horse, and a chameleon die while in her care, many of which were involved in traffic incidens near her home in Sussex.
This history of loss led the animal charity PETA to previously accuse Price of having "blood on her hands." The organization even reportedly offered the celebrity £5,000 to stop keeping pets following the death of another animal,highlighting the severity of the public's concern regarding her ability to provide a safe environment for animals.
A 9,800 dirham purchase and the arrest of Lee Andrews
The current dispute centers on a Pomsky named Dubaii that was purchased in Dubai for 9,800 dirhams. According to the report, Price and Lee Andrews were filmed signing the contract for the pet, with Price celebrating the transaction by announcing they were now "proud parents" to the dog.
Dina Taji took control of the animal after Andrews was arrested and incarcerated in Dubai. Taji, who is the former partner of Andrews,stated that her immediate instinct was to ensure the dog's safety after learning of his arrest. She has since shared videos on social media seeking public advice and expressing her hesitation to send the animal back to the UK.
The £200,000 mortgage dispute and the June meeting
Legal tensions between Dina Taji and Lee Andrews have significantly complicated the ownership and context of this dispute.. Taji has accused Andrews of taking out a £200,000 mortgage in her name without her consent, a move that led to legal action and a travel ban against him in Dubai.
The personal conflict between these parties intersected with Price during a meeting in June. Taji met with Price for a "woman-to-woman" conversation to personally warn the celebrity about Andrews' character. While Price framed the meeting as a supportive exchange over tea, Taji's primary motivation was to provide a private warning regarding her former partner.
What Dubai's municipal authorities will decide for Dubaii
Several critical questions remain regarding the legal status of the dog and the identity of the person in the UK requesting its return.. While Taji has expressed her intent to seek official guidance from municipal authorities in Dubai to determine the safest course of action,the legal ownership of Dubaii remains a point of contention.
It is currently unverified whether the contractual ownership established in the Dubai pet store will be upheld or if Taji's welfare concerns will trigger a different legal outcome. The Daily Mail has reached out to both Katie Price and Dina Taji for comment as the situation develops.
